Nashville, TN. (Top40 Charts/ Shore Fire Media) - "The music of Nitty Gritty Dirt Band articulates the American story, its values, experiences and collective soul." So says legendary producer George Massenburg, co-producer of the band's upcoming new album 'Speed of Life' out Sept 22 on NGDB Records. Whether it's the musicianship or the album's theme of enjoying the ups and downs life brings "the depth of their musical roots and the richness in which it flows out of them is truly Americana," Massenburg declares. Heavy-hitting producers Massenburg and Jon Randall Stewart set out to make a no-frills, live studio recording that would give free reign for the group's influential sound to shine. "The NGDB are pioneers of recording live in the studio and I couldn't imagine a better way to capture their legendary sound," says Stewart. It is these collaborative and spontaneous studio sessions that celebrate the freewheeling sound that is unmistakably NGDB.
